Curious Studies in English.

One Of the curious studies which en-
gagged the attention of an English scholar,
and the result. of which he has just pub
iished, is of the rise of new words and
phrases in English speech. The express
sion, lis being built" which used to rouse
the ire of the late Richard Grant White,
came into use in 1869, although it is said
to date back to 1447. "You was" now
taken as proof of illiteracy in those who
employ it, was employed by the eminent
Bentley in 1869 and was current as cor
rect form for 100 years afterward. The
records of Coldingham priory from 1440 to
1850 show how the present spelling Of
could" came about. 1t was formerly
''cude, but changed then because of "a
false analogy with shulde and wulde. =
Bishop Hall, in 1898, confused the old
Teutonic word 'trime' with the Greek
ss'rythm," and the result is the present
rhyme. ''This absurd spelling says the
writer, Fought never to be used in our
time" Shakespeare is responsible for a
good deal of the new English, as it is
called In his play Of Loves Labor
LOST the French ''caporar' becomes
corporal y The law term "escheat" be-
comes 'cheat," which was the popular
notion Of the lawyers function. The adj
jective spruce from Prussia) testifies to
the smart dress from Prussia, which
pleased the Londoners.

improvement and they still speak the jar
gon. Their dialect is distinguished from
the better German by frequent use of a
harsh, cultural termination ich' 1t is
this dialect Of the Poles which is used in
the theatrical representations given at the
Oriental theatre, which is carried on en-
tirely by Polish Jews"
ANCIENT HEBREW TONGUE.
The old man paused here and the re-
porter took occasion to ask But what
has become OF the original Hebrew Ian
guage that they started ont with.n
sWell, the ancient Hebrew tongue is
very limited in the number of its words,
and does not admit readily of extended
conversation; consequently the nomads
were compelled to prey upon the resources
of the richer languages in order to acquire
expressions for their growing domestic,
but more particularly for their CONNER
cial needs. The idioms which have been
retained are few and are chiefly of q
homely domestic nature. The distinctive
characteristic of this dialect is that it is
only spoken by Jews. Wherever Jewish
communities have been formed it is found
more or less in use. 1t is said to exist in
almost every inhabitable portion of the
globe. 1t is extensively met with in Asia
Allnor, and even in distant Kamtchatka,
Tor, you know" and he made significant
gesture with his right hand, ''you find
them wherever you CO."
The reporter then asked him to trans
late some of the signs which could be seen
on tho stores.
The old man said: 81 must tell you be-
3s..sehand that while the Jewish characters
Express almost the actual, correct spelling
OF tho German words, they are very de-
ticient il expressing the English orthog-
raphy. / will give you the exact equiva-
lent il tho letters of your own language,
and you will find that the word will sound
just Us you oftenest hear it spoken by the
more ignorant class Of Polish Jews, a dia-
lcct which has been made familiar by
Samuel of Posen and other Jewish stage
characters In writing them remember
foremost
Here is q remarkable combination of
English, German and Hebrew" said the
old man as he stopped in front of a large
dry goods store and read the following
from u g gantic vari colored sign board:
-. Hier list zu bekommen

Concerning Wind-Mills.

Wind-nills are a very ancient in
vention, but are not of much practical
value in a country where fuel is cheap.
trom the extreme irregularity of the
wind upon which they depend. 1t is
hoped that remedy for this defect
has been found by the Due de Feltre,
in the transformation of the surplus
energy of windy weather by causing it
to drive a dynamo, thus converting it
into electricity, with which he charges
batteries of storage cells. These in
turn can be utilized to drive the ma
chinery in time of calm. Any such
plan is, of course, attended by a very
large waste of power, but when the
original quantity is so enormous as it
is in gale of wind waste is matter
of very little moment. Before the
world is many generations older more
attention will be given to the question
of yoking the great forces of nature to
our machinery. and utilize the enormous
energy of the winds, waves, tides, not
to mention water power and the direct
radiation from the sun. Our store of
available coal will doubtless last for
many a long day to come, but we
ought not to forget that we are race
of spendthrifts, living on our capital,
and that we must not miss any oppor-
tunity of economizing the limited re-
sources of our estate.-Londo11 NeUs.
